Preparation
In large non-stick pan, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook onion, stirring, for 2 min. Add paprika; cook, stirring, for 2 min. Sprinkle chicken with salt and pepper and add to pan. Brown for 5 min on each side; adding more oil if necessary to prevent burning.

Meanwhile, cook pasta in boiling water according to package directions; drain.
Transfer chicken to serving plate. Reduce heat to low. Whisk remaining 1 tsp (5 mL) flour into sour cream; whisk into tomato mixture and cook, stirring, for 1 min. Season to taste with salt. Pour over chicken and sprinkle with parsley. Serve over pasta.

For the Adventurous: Add 1/2 cup (125 mL) dry white wine after chicken is browned in step 1.
